I do have a question...what and who is the STATE you reference? Again, in the theory of communism (which no country has been able to achieve) the state itself withers away and the people govern themselves. So no I don't see what you mean. We have not had a socialist revolution. The proletariate has not seized control of the means of production. These all must happen before a revolutionary government works towards communism. This idea that in the future "you will own nothing and you will be happy" that is coming from the World Economic Forum and the neoliberal uber-capitaist class is not communism. But if you want to believe it is, fine. I am not arguing for communism so your use of "comrade" in an attempt to demean what I am saying is misplaced. I am simply correcting your misconception of what Marx's theory of communism is. You cannot say what would happen since no one has completely carried out the experiment. But if we the people overthrew the government and the workers took over the board rooms of the factories they work in, it would be up to the workers to hammer out a path forward without top down authority. I wonder if we the people are up to governing ourselves or if we secretly want someone to tell us what to do. What do you think?
